San Jose Earthquakes
After surviving Chicago Fire in the US Open Cup, Minnesota United will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face San Jose Earthquakes in a highly-anticipated MLS game. The Loons defeated FC Dallas on the road in their last league match, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of San Jose Earthquakes’ visit. Colombia international Jefferson Diaz is pushing for a start as Nicolas Romero picked up a knock in the last league match.
The Earthquakes, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back draws with Los Angeles Galaxy and New York Red Bulls. San Jose, though, have suffered a loss in each of their last three meetings with Minnesota United, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Adding to their woes, defender DeJuan Jones misses the trip to Minneapolis through suspension.
Highlighted Team (San Jose Earthquakes):
San Jose Earthquakes are members of the Western Conference of Major League Soccer. The Quakes have been participating in the league since 1996 and they won their first MLS Cup trophy in 2001. Back then San Jose outplayed star-studded Los Angeles Galaxy in the title game, but it has to be noted that they scored the winner in the extra time.
Two years later the Quakes managed to repeat the success, with the team beating Chicago Fire in the 2003 MLS Cup final. Avaya Stadium is the home ground of San Jose Earthquakes and the capacity of the venue is 18.000. The construction of the stadium cost no less than $100 million and the venue was opened in March, 2015. The club’s home colors are blue and black, whilst the Quakes wear white and red shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
Chris Wondolowski is the club’s biggest star and he has been playing for San Jose Earthquakes since 2009. The USA ace has 121 league goals on his account ahead of the start of the 2017 season.
